Limecrime China Doll Palette Review and Swatches

Limecrime Chinadoll Palette

I am so late with this product! This was the first palette that Limecrime released as part of its fantasy palettes. I passed on it initially since i thought the colors appeared to not work well together. After seeing countless reviews and different looks i realized how mistaken i was. I also happen to own every other palette and wanted to complete my collection.

First off this palette was in a golden envelope type packaging with a unicorn stamp and everything. Very nice detail for just the box this product comes in.

This palette has an overall Asian theme to it (or at least it is supposed to) All colors in this palette are matte aside from Goldfish which has a shimmery sheen to it. These shades apply sightly chalky but are highly pigmented (aside from Lotus Noir which can be a little streaky), and are easy to blend. These are decent quality and apply true to what you see in the palette. Apply over primer for a richer pop of color. No fallout. These colors swatch almost identical to what is shown on the site which can't be said for a lot of their other products.

Overall this isn't my favorite palette from Limecrime but it does have a nice mix of colors which can work well together. While i am not sure how many people would use a red eyeshadow, Fly Dragon Fly, it is great to have and will stand out against Goldfish and Lotus Noir. I think this is an excellent piece to add to a makeup collection if you like mattes and bold colors.
